[Summary] An extensible extension language
[License] MIT/X Consortium License
[Description] Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending applications, \
but also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. It combines \
simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful data description constructs \
based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted \
from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management, making it ideal for configuration, \
scripting, and rapid prototyping. It is implemented as a small library of C functions, \
written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation \
goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. It has been \
used on games such as Battle Mages, Vendetta, FarCry, Homeworld2, and Painkiller.
